It isn't uncommon to see babies and pre-school kids playing with iPads and being even more tech savvy than their parents. But in an age of cold technology, family experiences like a visit to the classic Bushnell Park Carousel can definitely warm things up. This vintage hand-carved carousel is a highlight of the park, and with good reason. The old-style music, the eye-catching but not overbearing lights and the friendly people make taking the kids out for a spin on their favorite wooden horse an activity that they will want to experience again and again, no matter how old they grow.

If its live music you want, then the Comcast Theatre in Hartford is where you need to be. This large yet inviting entertainment venue is where the biggest artists play when their big tour rolls through town.

Parking may be a bit of an issue on the night of a big show, so make plans to arrive early or check the website for possible shuttles to and from the theater. And, the website is also the best place to find out about upcoming shows and ticket purchasing information.
